Average retail gasoline prices in Pittsburgh fell 1.5 cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $2.79 per gallon on Sunday, according to GasBuddy's daily survey of 731 gas outlets in Pittsburgh.
This compares with the national average, which has fallen 6 cents per gallon in the last week to $2.47 per gallon.
Including the change in gas prices in Pittsburgh during the past week, prices Sunday were 38.4 cents per gallon higher than the same day one year ago; and are 10.3 cents per gallon lower than a month ago.
The national average has decreased 19.3 cents per gallon during the last month and stands 21.4 cents per gallon higher than this day one year ago.
"Gas prices today entered their fourth straight week of declining nationally, a trend unlikely to be interrupted by Hurricane Nate over this past weekend," said Patrick DeHaan, senior petroleum analyst for GasBuddy.
"Gasoline supply has continued to improve and as temperatures begin to feel more fall-like, demand for fuel will continue to decline."
